CapCutTry it →Watch full video →Content CreatorsContent Creators·

Demo summary

The video shows how to use the Adjustment tab to apply an SL-log3 LUT and manually adjust exposure, shadows, and highlights to fix flat footage.

Step-by-step

  1. Select the video clip in the timeline to open the side panel.
  2. Click on the Adjustment tab.
  3. Select the Basic sub-tab.
  4. Click the LUT dropdown and select your desired preset (e.g., SL-log3).
  5. Adjust the Exposure slider to fix under or overexposed footage.
  6. Modify Shadows and Highlights sliders to recover detail in dark or bright areas.
  7. Use the Temperature control to adjust the warmth or coolness of the image.
  8. Click Apply to all if you want the same settings on every clip in the project.

Options

  • Toggle the adjustment checkbox on and off to see a before and after comparison
  • Use advanced sub-tabs for more complex color grading beyond the Basic tab

Watch out for

  • The side panel only displays the Adjustment tab when a clip is actively selected

Tips

  • Stick to the Basic tab for the vast majority of YouTube video editing needs
  • Use a LUT to convert log picture profile footage back to a normal color space (Rec. 709)
  • Focus on whether the image is too bright, too dark, too warm, or too cool as these are the most common beginner issues
  • Adjust the shadow slider specifically to brighten dark blobs like black clothing without affecting the whole frame

“it doesn't need to be the most complicated thing in the world”
